for the clear corner mod. I tried a dozen different ways and I just couldn't figure it out. Do you hit it out from the back, from the front, from the side? I tried prying it, and it just wouldn't budge. Help me please! Also, where did you get replacement bulbs?

I tried figuring a way to remove the plastic assembly the ambers rest in....no luck.

Bulbs though? Can you re-use the stock bulbs or is there a specific bulb?

As much as many have had success in just smashing-it from the back, it has serious potential for breakage in areas that you'll regret later. Bottom line is that you don't have control over what will give...

My take is that the ambers should be considered to be a sacrificial part in this case.
That being stated, just break-it apart.
I would take a set of channel-lock gripping the lense like a bottle opener. Create a slight separation of the lense lip and it will come off easily.
If the lense cracks/splits/deforms, your job will be that much easier.

As for the bulb, my recommendation is NOT to reuse the stock amber bulb.
It will just defeat your CCmod purpose.

Get a quality bulb from stealthbulbs.com (pretty pricey though) or just go to superbrightleds.com.
Many sites offer silver coated amber bulbs.
A word of wisdom though; If you get a cheap bulb and it burns out, you'll need to pull the bumper to change that cheap bulb.

I hope this helps.

Gotcha.....thanks for the advice!

You're running PSS9 - how do you like the handling and did you have to do anything for camber correction in the rear? My TT required KMAC bushings to get the camber back in spec when I lowered it with PSS9. Is there some amount of adjustability with the stock setup? TIA...

Eddie Man

As a camber kit would probably help, I am not using them...
The alignment specs that I am currently running on are at specs or damn near them (front is at, rear is near).
IIRC, my mechanic had to drop the rear subframe to gain a few more mm to aid in getting there.
The deal I've succumb to is that dropping to where I am at (finger gap) has added negative camber to both front &amp; rear, which will tend to make the inner tire wear quicker, and this will be evident after, say 7500 mi.
So rotating often (fronts to rear &amp; rears to fronts) has evened out the inner tire wear better.
I've rotated often and the wear has been manageable if not unnoticable.

Well anyways, I hope this helped and answered your question.

I always tell the shop that does my alignment to get it as close to stock numbers as possible. they usually are close up to a few hundredths.

Granted, inners always seem to wear more. rotations every 3000 seem to alleviate excessive wear.
